LinkedIn reviews

While upper management is great but middle management is horrible, eating away the company culture. Especially a few cross functional teams I have partnered with have the worst middle management here. No accountability, politics, bias, non inclusivity are a few themes rampant in these teams making a lot of great people quit. Many hardworking people quit due to incompetent leadership who do nothing but sit at a pedastal to divide and rule. Perception is everything and hard work, integrity and culture doesn't matter which is ironic.

Cons largely revolve on what may make your day-to-day hellish: - Bad work/life balance: this largely depends on what organization you're on. The paid products/infra teams tend to have better work/life balance than the free consumer app teams. - Lots of mediocre middle-management bloat: Linkedin clearly promotes people who have been at Linkedin for 3+ years to prevent them from leaving. Unfortunately, these people usually fall into one of two categories: (1) cares about you and means well but puppet of upper management or (2) only interested in management for their career growth and don't care about yours. - Extremely top-down culture: leadership pushes their "vision" and promotes mercenaries to execute exactly how leadership wants. This is particularly true within the free consumer app teams, whose "vision" generally consists of copying one of 3 apps: Reddit, Facebook or Instagram. - Sexual assault: heard of it happening by middle-management. Enough said.
